The above digital camera models contain an internal KODAK Rechargeable
Battery Pack. The battery pack contains eight batteries and thermal
protection components. In this document, the term 'battery' refers
to the eight batteries.

Verify that you have a battery problem

Step 1:

Locate the DCS AC Battery Charger/Adapter
and the power cord originally supplied with the camera. Do not use
other chargers or adapters with the camera.

Power Cord

Step 2:

Connect the DCS AC Battery Charger/Adapter and
the power cord to your camera. Is the battery icon illuminated?
The battery icon is located on the LCD display at the top left of
the camera back.

Yes: Go to Step #3.
No: Verify the following:

The DCS AC Battery Charger/Adapter
and the power cord are properly connected.

Plug the appropriate end of the power
cord into the DCS AC Battery Charger/Adapter, then plug
the other end into a wall outlet.

Note: The DCS AC Battery Charger/Adapter
is for indoor use only. Use the type of power source indicated on the
name plate of the DCS AC Battery Charger/Adapter. A line
voltage outside the range of this adapter can destroy the DCS AC
Battery Charger/Adapter and/or the camera.

Carefully plug the DCS AC Battery Charger/Adapter
into the round connector located at the lower left of the camera
back. Do not bend or break the connector pins. Do not excessively
flex or bend the cable.

The wall outlet has power. If necessary, use a different
wall outlet.

If this does not resolve the problem, you must replace the DCS
AC Battery Charger/Adapter. This part is available from
Kodak.

Yes: Go to Step #4.
No: Condition the battery. See
How
to Charge and Condition the Battery
for instructions.
If this does not resolve the problem, you must replace the internal
Rechargeable Battery Pack. This part is available from Kodak.

Look at the camera base. Does the metal mechanism plate
extend under the battery? If yes, continue with Step 5. If no, go
to Step 7.

Step 5:

Remove the PCMCIA card ejector.

Remove the two PCMCIA ejector screws.

Carefully lift the PCMCIA card ejector from the mechanism
plate.

Step 6:

Remove the mechanism plate.

Remove the 3 screws that secure the
door frame, then remove the door frame.

Remove the 4 mechanism plate screws, then lift the mechanism
plate from the camera frame.

Step 7:

Remove the battery pack.

Note how the battery cable and the
PCB board cable are placed inside the camera. You must replace these cables
in the same position when you connect the new battery pack.

Use the needle-nose pliers to disconnect the battery connector
from the main circuit board.

Note the position of the rubber tubing (not available on
all camera models). You must replace the rubber tubing in the same
position when you connect the new battery pack.

Carefully remove the battery pack and the rubber tubing.

Connect the new battery pack

Step 1:

Carefully insert the new battery pack
into the camera.

Step 2:

Carefully place the battery cable and the PCB board cable
in their original location.

Step 3:

Note that the battery connector is keyed. Use the plastic
or wooden screwdriver to correctly connect the battery connector
to the main circuit board.

Do not use a metal screwdriver or metal
tool.
Do not connect the battery backwards.

Step 4:

Replace the rubber tubing. If your camera does not have
rubber tubing and if the new battery is smaller than the old battery,
insert a folded piece of paper or a thin piece of rubber tubing
to prevent battery noise or movement.

Call Kodak to order a new DCS AC Battery Charger/Adapter,
Part No. 3B4701, or a new internal Rechargeable Battery Pack, Part
No. 7C3127. The battery pack is not returnable. Verify that you
need a new battery pack before you order from Kodak.
